MHAGC

MHAGC is 501(c)3 non-profit organization that was founded in 1957 by an individual named Clifford Beers. Mr. Beers experienced mental health issues through out his life, resulting in his participation in treatment in a variety of mental health settings. He dedicated his life to reducing mental illness, preventing unnecessary hospitalizations, and improving mental health services... The Mental Health Association of Greater Chicago (MHAGC) uses education-based strategies to inform students, parents and administrators of techniques to combat mental illness. Strategies including promoting prevention and increasing empowerment are through education, collaboration and support programs... We, as MHAGC, dedicate ourselves to carrying out the mission of this organization through a core set of values.
